This is some kind of joke right? I know we're way past April fools this year, but this is a joke??

She's one of the biggest dimwits I've seen on YouTube, and doesn't actually know JACK about tech!

She's catering for a different audience that is not nerdy nor technical. Her content is lifestyle, travel and tech, very approachable, light and silly. You don't have to be such a hater just because it's not your style.

Let's see if they finally add a decent camera on these computers, besides fixing the keyboards.

These look hideous! I'm gonna wait to see what titles start rolling out after iOS 13 and probably buy a PS4 controller.

Typical Apple attitude. Please remind me, why do we need to buy two type of Apple pencils again? If you buy a 'regular' iPad now, and you upgrade to the 'Pro' model later you can start purchasing lots of stuff all over again. Also... 'Pro'... No standard access to SD cards, that is not without spending at least X amount of $ to get yourself some very very convenient dongle. When did we - as Apple users - start accepting dongles as normal? And still only 1 USB-C port. This is the NOT the Apple I support. Not related but also important ... Not giving users the possibility to upgrade storage on their device is making me very very pissed. I don't care that much for the RAM, as that is something you would normally could decide when purchasing the laptop... but storage? How can Apple defend itself by selling laptops with 128GB of storage? Also for tablets this is not Pro at all! 

Instead of whining so much you should find another device that fits your needs, maybe a different brand and even OS. If the price point makes you "very very pissed" vote with your wallet.

I am perplexed why Apple has not come out with one of these themselves and instead seems to be handing off the segment to third parties.   But typically, if I have a choice between Apple and a third party product, I'll go with Apple every time.  Unfortunately, that is not an option.

I am also perplexed why it was given a rating of only 2.5 out of 5.   Is it because they didn't like the keyboard?   Maybe its too thick?  Or, is it because it compares unfavorably to a MacBook Air?   If it's the latter, that is simply an unfair comparison when used for rating the product (although the comparison itself must be made).   But, the truth is:  seldom will a multi-use product compare favorably to one designed to fill a limited, specific purpose.   But, in this case the user can take satisfaction from the product's deficiencies as a laptop when they pop it out of the case and use it as the world's best tablet.

Why would Apple develop an case that turns your iPad Pro into a thick MacBook with legacy ports?

I love this show, the humor is dark enough/twisted and character development has been pretty solid. I hope they get renewed for a couple more seasons!

Well, I cant forget about zoom because apparently you cant do a group call if you are on a Facetime voice call. I cant forget about zoom because when I want to start a facetime call sometimes it calls an old phone number on the contact and you end up talking to a random person. I cant forget about zoom because sometimes the FT call goes just to your iPhone instead of your other Apple devices. I cant forget about zoom because when someone on the group doesn't answer or hang up the screen stays awkwardly divided. I cant forget about zoom because a lot of times the call doesn't ring on the other end and it doesn't notify the other person that I called them. Apple really needs to improve and simplify their iMessage, Facetime and phone integration, because its simply broken. I like that everything is encrypted & secure, but as of now, I only use Facetime audio to do 1:1 calls because it's what mostly works.
